Fantastic for cyclists and hikers, this stretch of trail is both peaceful and beautiful. The Severn Way and the Mercian Way long-distance trails both use this path to make the most of the gloriously wooded valley between Bridgnorth and Ironbridge. Keep an eye out for remnants of history from the china works to ancient footbridges.
